The two soon get competitive as to who'll get to shag him and a wager is made. Ian wins and gets more than he bargained for - a relationship.

It's not long before Ian's introducing him to the family but just as everything's looking rosy, he discovers a secret about Sean's past that has explosive consequences.

Carl starts dating the dullest girl in the world - just so he can shag her mum. It's the best ride he's ever had and he can't bring himself to give it up - not even when she confesses that she's smitten.

It's only when she leaves her husband and turns up at the Gallaghers that Carl realises too late he's in way too deep.

Frank fakes an injury and steals a wheelchair to get out of antenatal classes, and Lillian gets herself a boyfriend.
